Product Description
Get ready for some beautiful pictures. The compact DSC-H55 Cyber-shot digital camera's powerful 10x optical zoom wide (25mm equivalent) lens takes better shots from greater distances. For breathtaking panoramic shots of wide landscapes, just move in one sweeping motion and Sweep Panorama mode does the rest. Your shots are clear, too, thanks to Optical SteadyShot technology that helps reduce blur when your hands are less than steady. Review the phenomenal results on the large, 3.0" (diag.) screen.
FEATURES: - 3.0" Clear Photo LCD display (230k pixels) - Compose and show off your images on the large 3.0" (230K) Clear Photo LCD display, which features a special anti-reflective coating for sharp visibility, even in bright sunlight.
- Sweep Panorama mode - IReach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking shots with Sweep Panorama Mode. Simply press the shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction and the camera continuously shoots at a high speed, then seamlessly stitches the images together with automatic position adjustment to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and ultra-wide options, the camera can take panoramic shots of up to 244 degrees. Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep.
- Self-Portrait Timer - Self-Portrait Timer helps take the guesswork out of self portraits by utilizing Face Detection technology to recognize when your face enters the frame. Once the camera detects your face, it triggers a 2-second timer, and then snaps a picture.
- Optical SteadyShot image stabilization - Optical SteadyShot image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality.
- Face Detection technology - S

 Great Little Camera with wonderful zoom August 17, 2010

When I started looking for a new camera this one wasn't even on my radar. But when someone let me look at one I was sold. I have had fun using the panoramic feature and the Smile shot is great when trying to get one of the kids.
Great camera for the price July 26, 2010

This camera is great. The panorama feature is really neat. I took this camera with me to Chicago a week after purchase. With the panorama shot I was able to sweep the camera in a fluid motion to capture a pic of the whole city and with the megapixel load able to blow it up to a very good size with no blocked finish. The zoom on this thing is great, even from the top of the Sears Tower I was able to zoom in and take shot clear across town with great clarity. The pics themselves as long as you let it do its thing and focus come out crystal clear. This camera lights up any situation when needed with ease, very brightn flash. This camera isnt to bulky, I had no problem carring it when my wife need to lighten up the load in her purse for a bit. The video is really sharp it shoots HD video and is clear. One thing I wish it had was a HDMI port for direct play on a television but once downloaded to a hard drive and replayed it comes out HD quality. The steady shot works well. It is a nice piece of equipent for the price and takes really great photos. If in auto focus it takes a few seconds to par up so you have to wait to let it do its thing once adjusted the photos are professional quality.

The Sony DSC-H55 is an amazing little camera with great zooming capabilities. The first pictures I took were high school graduation pictures. I wasn't even that close to the action but when I uploaded the pictures onto the computer and saw them on a bigger screen, I was amazed to see just how clear the pictures were. It was as if I was standing right there w/ the graduates. I have also taken the camera on my trips to Disneyland and California Adventure and the photos were quite stunning. I had the Disney photos printed at my local Costco and I am so happy with the results.
This is my fourth digital camera (my previous cameras were 2 Sonys and 1 Canon) but it's the first with optical image stabilization and so far I don't know how I ever lived without it. I think out of the hundreds of shots that I have taken I can count the total of blurred shots on one hand.
I would have given it 5 stars except for one minor detail. The battery/memory card compartment cover bugs the heck out of me. I don't think I've ever seen a cheaper plastic used as a cover before. Every time I want to take out the card or the battery to be charged, I have to be careful to not put too much pressure on the darn thing. It looks like it could easily break off. The last thing I want is to have to tape the cover down w/ duct tape. Let's hope it will never have to come to that!
Despite the cover issue,I am quite satisfied with camera. My trip to Hawaii is in 3 weeks I am looking forward to many more wonderful shots taken with the Sony DSC-H55.
 Disappointed...The picture quality is not good June 25, 2010

We got this camera(Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H55) yesterday (06/24) and after testing it with pictures taken under different lighting conditions, I should say it is disappointing. For some pictures taken outdoors, it fades the natural color of the scenaries. It also washes off photos taken indoors. One another thing is the picture in the View finder(LCD Screen) is grainy. This really irritates on a camera with 14 MP and 10x zoom. It does this even while shooting a object at a normal distance.
I already have a Panasonic Lumix ZS7 and this camera Sony DCS-H55 comes no where close to the picture quality.
Overall, I won't recommend this camera for this price($199)

Very pleased with the camera....bought it just in time for a trip to Yellowstone National Park & the pictures were incredible. Video is a bit grainy & when moving too quick while taking a video it tends to blur. Overall though its a fantastic camera, easy to learn, easy to use, the panorama sweep feature is fun. The feature i was most impressed with was the double shot feature, it saved many of shots that otherwise would have been blurry or dark.
